Set in 1963, CRIME STORY is the story of the Chicago Police Major Crime Unit headed by tough-as-nails Lieutenant Mike Torello (Dennis Farina, Get Shorty) and his obsessive pursuit of slick and ruthless gangster Ray Luca (Anthony Denison, The Closer), one of organized crime's brightest young hoods. As Luca murders, steals, and extorts his way to the top from the mean streets of Chicago to the glitter of Las Vegas, Torello remains hot on his trail.

Between 2000 and 2005, individual DVDs of the pilot telefilm, the first season and the second (and final) season where released by Anchor Bay, but those titles are all out of print. Now Image Entertainment has announced that on November 15th they will release Crime Story - The Complete Series: 25th Anniversary Edition, bringing everything together for the first time in one package. Pricing is just $29.98 SRP (!), and you can pre-order it at a discount from Amazon using the button link below (the e-tailer's listing shows a ship date of November 1st, but we believe that's a typo as Image's info clearly shows the 15th). Here's a look at the cover art:
